Lightnig and Snow DLC released today

This is a discussion on Lightnig and Snow DLC released today within the Final Fantasy XIII-2 forum, part of the F; My friend texted me a few hours ago saying that he had just download the Snow and Lightning DLCs for ...

Snow DLC is just another Coliseum fighter and an additional to the team, I believe. There's no storyline about it unlike the others

The Lightning Storyline DLC unlocks the last slot at Valhalla in the Historia Crux and it tells the storyline after what happens (or in between) the final fight at the end of the main storyline (not sure the timeline lol). You're basically fighting using Lightning. She has her own set of Roles (they're pretty nifty) and what you do in it is basically fight over and over again while gaining "Levels". The beginning fight is gonna take you quite long (It took me 41 mins LOL) but as you go on it'll be much easier! Have fun with it!

EDIT: oh wow, something else happened but I can't really say without spoiling it. Keep getting higher levels or defeat the enemy at a faster time to get the next sequence, lol.

I bought this dlc and as soon as the captain comes into the battle he kills me right away. any tips?

I assume you mean Amodar? If so, I'd suggest putting a SEN in if he's killing you that quickly. Lightning is usually easier to kill off first, and you can stick deshell and deprotect on her pretty easily so I'd suggest doing that first. I'd suggest something like a SAB/SYN/SEN paradigm, or SAB/MED/SEN if you are still having trouble staying alive. Make sure you have protect on the entire time to keep the damage to a minimum, and put it back on and take off any other debuffs they put on you. The main idea will be to keep a SEN out while you stagger Light in something like COM/RAV/SEN. Once she's dead, Amodar is gonna use his main attack and most likely will kill the person he attacks, so use a phoenix down and heal them right away. The battle will get much easier from this point though. If he's still killing you fast, keep the SEN out, if not go more aggressive. Make sure to keep something like MED/MED/SEN for healing. Once your more advanced in the cyrstarium, you won't need a SEN anymore and you can finish this battle pretty quickly, so remember you can always come back to it and get them later.

Another thing that will help keep you alive will be to put a Grimoire Hat on the person you are using and stock up on potions, it'll help you stay alive and keep you out of healing paradigms. Noel is also pretty easy to get the vampiric strike syth ability so while he's doing damage he'll be healing himself. Just stack him with a few delicate power wristbands, and if you have teh Grasitha weapon (the weapon Ochu drops) that'll increase it too. If you still need some help, let me know more about the stats for your Serah/Noel and any monsters you are using.

Just because he's talking about a different DLC doesn't mean you can't still help him .
